Investigation into suspension of Hospital consultant

by Ben Quérée

AN internal investigation into the three-year suspension of consultant John Day has begun after an investigation into a patient’s death at the Hospital effectively exonerated him.

Health Minister Anne Pryke announced the review to States Members yesterday following the publication of the Verita report on Monday.

Mr Day – who has returned to work this morning – had been suspended from work since October 2006 on full pay, costing the Island around £1 million.

He did not face any disciplinary hearing and was not called to give evidence at the manslaughter trial of Dr Dolores Moyano, who carried out the operation leading to the patient’s death.
